FAQ
Where does the tour start?
From Calgary. Drive north on Highway 2. About 10-15 minutes after passing the Airport exit, take the exit onto Highway 7/92 just north of Airdrie. It takes about 1 hour to reach Drumheller, but there is commentary all the way on this route.
If you enter Drumheller into you GPS, it will most likely create a route that does not follow the tour commentary route to the town. Follow our instructions above so you get to enjoy the commentary!
From Drumheller. If you are already in town, a good place to start the tour is to drive over the bridge beside the Visitor Info Centre to join the Dinosaur Trail. To join the Hoodoos Trail, drive south from Drumheller on highway 10.
Does the Drumheller Tour connect to the Canadian Rockies ?
Yes. If you do the Drumheller Tour first, follow the exit route out of town towards Calgary Airport. Towards the end, the commentary will advise you how to join to the Free Calgary to Banff Tour which will take you into the mountains.
If you are doing the Drumheller tour after the Rockies, you will drive yourself towards Calgary Airport. As you approach the Airport you will come to a major exit for Highway 2, the Deerfoot Trail. Instead of turning towards the Airport, join Highway 2 by driving north and you will soon hear the commentary.
What should I bring?
We always recommend taking a DC style (cigarette) charger with you. Plugging directly into the vehicle’s USB port is not recommended.
Don’t forget your smile and camera.
